Changing minds, one at a time

Rich Simon, a writer friend who teaches at a community college here in the East Bay, posted this story on his blog:

I had a student yesterday -- a Bush supporter, a member of the campus Christian prayer group, a Vietnamese immigrant and a good, smart kid -- pretty much have a meltdown. I had asked what the authors' purpose was in writing the book (Age of Propaganda, Pratkanis and Aronson, BTW). He answered: "because they don't like President Bush."

A few in the class chuckled. I asked them when the book had been published. They flipped to the title page. It had been initially published in 1992.

Read the rest.
